Installing the Series 4100gl Switches
Installation Procedures
8. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch
The Series 4100gl Switches have a full-featured, easy to use console interface
for performing the following tasks:
■
Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity counters
■
Modify the switch’s configuration
■
Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting
■
Download new software to the switch
■
Add passwords and other security features to control access to the switch
from the console, web browser interface, and network management
stations
The console can be accessed through these methods:
■
Out-of-band: Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console,
directly to the switch using the serial cable that comes with the Series
4100gl Switches. If the PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, you
can use a readily available 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable, or attach a 9-to-25
pin straight-through adapter to the PC end of the cable.
■
In-Band: Access the console using telnet from a PC or UNIX station on
the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that
you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using
either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp.
The Series 410gl Switches can simultaneously support one out-of-band
console session through the Console Port and one in-band telnet session.
Terminal Configuration
To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a
VT-100 or DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal, or use a VT-100 terminal and configure
it to operate with these settings:
■
any baud rate from 2400 to 115200 (the switch automatically senses the
speed)
■
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to None
■
For Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use Func­
tion, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option
■
For the Hilgrave HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” parameter
